Nearly One Thousand Guests at the
Famous Resort.
GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR, July
- Progressive euchre parties are now in
favor with the young people hrge who are
not yet disposed to enter upon the greater
dissipation of the latter season. The one
gwen in the parlor few evenings since
WAS chiefly gotten up by Mrs. Archibald
\. Campbell, and WAS greatly enjoyed. II
was played by about twenty couples and
the prizes were won by Miss Littleheld, oI
South Carolina, and Mr.. Harris, of Rich
mOnd.
The regular whist club for the gentle
men haS now been organized and meets
regularly at 10 - IN. at Marx Downey'S
cottage in Georgia Row" The regular
PLAYERS ut this time are DIR. cambridge, Of
Mr.. Downey, Of Richmond;
Judge Waelder, of Texas; Judge Gilbert,
OF Brooklyn; Mr.. lungerich, Of Philadel-
phia; Capt. Stanley, OF South Carolina,
and some others. These gentlemen are all
past the meridian, and have attained to Il
period in lite when they might possibly he
considered somewhat privileged characters.
But il has been borne in upon them in the
last day or two by the ladies who occupy
apartments adjoining the whist balcony
that their privileges are limited, and that
the cottage etiquette of the White Sui
phur Springs is i thing to be respected.
This
COTTAGE ETIQUETTE
requires all cottages to adhere strictly to
ITS privileges ct their own portion 0i the
balcony and its respective steps. One or
two of tie whist players nnwarIly IN
fringed upon this iueNorabie law by going
down the wrong steps. Upon returning To
the cottage for their next sitting on the
balcony they observed that the lady occu
pants on either side of them had cOntrlved,
by the aid of blue cambria curtains and an
improyised sail, to draw the line" and to
Indicate to the visitors that they were eN-
pected 10 play between the two cambria
portiers and t0 exit by their own steps. 1t
raised gOod-natured laugh, Of course, ut
the expense of the gamesteIS; hut the re-
suit was accomplished, and the ladies will
not be again intruded upon.
THE BALLROOM
presents gay scene in the evening with
it's floor full of dancers. Mr.. Frye - the
best dancer here and is entitled to especial
from the ladies on the floor
for the regularity with which he appears
in full evening dress, aS every gentleman
should who proposes to enter the ballroom
for the purpose of dancing. The young
ladies would never think of attending the
evening ball without appropriate toilet,
and 1t seems Il singular and an unwarrant-
eel diSrespect To them and to the uS'ges oi
polite society that young men, who are OIL
for a holiday and with nothing else to do,
cannot pay the requisite attention to this
matter of courtesy.
The hall room here is u beauty-the
lights. the floor, the music and the girls
are all CONNIE II fuUt; but for the men who
come into it in their morning suits what
can be- said, except don't do it again,
reminding them that men never look 80
well rs when in full dress, and that 1t Is
only when they are looking their Very best
that they can hope to become the grand ball
room of the White as il will then become
them.
Miss Iungerich, of Philadelphia, and
Miss Vale, of st. Louis, are both much adj
mired. So far, the North and the far South
preponderate in representatives among the
guests.
